I am working on a Phd thorugh Capela University out of Minnisota,and I thought I used technology a great deal, don't we all have lots to learn. I enjoyed the reading and for me the biggest benefit is the impetus for reflection. Thanks for sharing Dave Believe it or not this is my first response to a blog.

Blogging really is becoming the next "thing". As a fairly new blogger myself, I think it's just another space to express what you have to say on practically anything. It's just like talking to your friends and family, but once you click the 'publish' button, the whole world can share your thoughts and ideas and comment on them. Your recognition and work prove that blogging isn't just an accumulation of pieces of writing. It's more like a public diary with frequent readers. Still seem pretty surreal to me!! I shall keep posting posting and posting :) Congratulations!

I agree with all the above comments, your blogs are very thought provoking.. ...sometimes I agree, sometimes I differ but you always evoke a response from me.However , the thing which impresses me the most is the way you challenge my thinking, particularly on issues where for the sake of any discomfort, I have sat on the fence ( I know hard to believe that this very opinionated woman ever sits on any fence!) I love the certificate, it reminds me of freetime in ICT when I allow my kids to develop any project they want.....invariably all the little darlings who hate writing award themselves a writing certificate (cough cough) Just kiddin' I think your bloging deserves one. ciao Congratulations mucker!

I've been reading your blog for about 8 months and have enjoyed your writing and ideas very much. Don't stop! As an aside, I'm finishing my course work, starting my dissertation and will be glad when this is over so I can concentrate more on my blog. thanks for sharing and I'll keep looking for your insightful posts.

You do a great job and I always enjoy reading your posts! Secondly I need to weigh in on the 'academic' merits of a (your) blog. I believe that the main point of an advanced degree is to develop the way you think and to provide a contribution to the knowledge base of a certain topic/area of study. I believe that you do both with your blog, and thus are a deserved recipient of the PhB - even if it is self conferred! Dave,

Well done! You should have entitled this post "In Part Fulfilment". I can assure you that my blog means as much to me as my PhD, if that's anything to go by. But then, my blog's not even a year old. Do keep writing. They say longevity is one of the pre-requisites for a Nobel Prize. After all, writing blog posts qualifies as contributions to literature. Who knows? You might be in the running one day. Catchya later from Middle-earth Kia ora David!

Your model of thought provoking writing has been the inspiration to many others. Thank you for opening the door to a powerful PLN.
